      I'm building a large 3D printer and I need to drive 4 z-axis Lead screws using 4 nema-17 stepper motors.
      I'm planning to use 4 external drivers for the motors. My question is, where do I get the z-axis STEP/DIR/EN signals on a duet wifi board?

            @alielsayid Isn't using four rather than three a recipe for overconstraining, bending, and potential damage?
